The football matches were played between the Balmoral Rangers and the Sandringham Dynamos, these being the names of the respective restaurant teams. In front of the matches a parade through the streets of Bergen was held. So the Caronia was of course a favorite of the visiting cruise liners in Bergen.
I took part in the 1964 Bergen Parade - I was one of the bearers of the huge golden Sphinx from the Sandringham restaurant. Carrying that thing over Bergen's cobbles was erm, interesting.
